SCRAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,794, dated October6, 1885.

Application filed July 16, 1885. Serial No. 171,774. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HASLUP, of

Sidney, in the county of Shelby and State of Ohio, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Scrapers, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to a drag-scraper.

The object of my invention is, first, to obtain ascraper made of asingle piece; second, to obtain a scoop shape, avoiding corners orplaces for the dirt to stick; and, third, to obtain a scraper with aninclined back, and of concave or curved lines, formed of a single pieceof metal, all of which will be fully set forth in the description of theaccompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved scraper; Fig. 2, the blanksheet of metal with sides bent, and Fig. 3 a blank from which thescraper is made; Fig. 4, a central vertical cross-section.

A, Fig. 3, represents a blank formed of a piece of metal by cutting awaythe surplus stock at the points 1 2, forming a semicircular piece, 3,and an extension, 4.

Fig. 2 represents the second step of forming a scraper from a singlepiece of metal.

abrepresent the sides of the scraper, formed from the blank shown inFig. 3.

e d represent lap sides, formed from the piece 4 by bending, as shown inFig. 2.

The third step consists in bending up the back so as to have the sides 0d lap against the sides a b, as shown in Fig. 1. By riveting or boltingthe sides a b to the laps c d the scraper is held in position. The linesformed in bending are of concave or curved form, and when the laps areriveted or bolted together form a very stiff as well as a light andcheap scraper. By thus bending the sides and back, corners are avoidedand the scraper fills and empties easily. The form 01 notching the backand sides together is shown in Fig. l.

C represents a W-shaped clamp-bolt, which is inserted through holespierced in the laps c a b d.

D represents a clamp-bar, which, wit-h the clamp-bolt 0, forms a socketor band for the handle E.

F represents a similar clamp for holding the inner end of the handle.

H represents the bail attached to the sides in the ordinary way.

It will be observed by reference to Fig. 2 that the sides 0 c arebent upin proper shape to have those corners form inside laps of the sides, andwhen the back is bent, as shown in Fig. 3, it makes round or curvedcorners, and forms an inclined back.

Having described my invention, what I de sire to secure by LettersPatent is- 1. A scraper made from a single piece 0: metal formed withcuts 1 and 2, to form an extension, 4, said extension being bent upward1y to form an inclined back,and its ends turnec' inwardly to form curvedcorners inside of the scraper, substantially as described.

2. A scraper made from a single piece 0 metal cut to form an extension,4, said exten sion being bent up to form an inclined back, and havingits ends turned inwardly to four rounded corners, and lapped over thesidesb and secured thereto by bolts 0, having bar: D connected to theirother ends to form han dle-clamps, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto Sel my hand.

WILLIAM HASLUP.
